After almost a decade, passengers will once again be able to catch a sleeper train between the German and French capitals. Deutsche Bahn said the service is mostly booked out through the holiday period.
An overnight sleeper train will depart from Berlin towards Paris on Monday evening — the first such service in nine years.
It will initially operate three times a week with the goal of running every night by October 2024.
The revived night train is result of a partnership between Germany’s national railway operator Deutsche Bahn and French state railroad SNCF, with the trains themselves provided by Austrian railway ÖBB’s Nightjet brand.
“Basically, as soon as we launch a new night train connection together with our partner railroads, there is a real boom in bookings.”
Deutsche Bahn discontinued its Berlin-Paris night train service in 2014 with an aging fleet and a decrease in demand.
Meanwhile, Deutsche Bahn aims to expand its night train connections to 13 other large European cities in partnership with other operators.
